ESSI Treatment Costs
Everyone agrees that the most effective treatment is the best value when it comes to healthcare, but financial realities must always be considered when making a treatment choice.  Both early stage scoliosis intervention locations (Lancaster Spinal Health Center and Posture and Spine Care Center) offer intensive care and expanded care treatment plans.  Due to the unique billing and structure of each scoliosis treatment plan, each individual facility must provide fees independently from each other.  Please contact the individual treatment center for a current fee schedule for that independently owned treatment center.

Intensive Care Scoliosis Treatment Costs

(Please see the Treatment plan section for treatment related details)

The progressive nature of the Intensive Care (IC) program creates unique challenges in terms of utilizing normal insurance billing procedures.  Because this approach is so new, some of these procedures are considered non-standardized or “experimental” by insurance companies.  In addition, the amount of time our staff will spend with you is far longer than that spent on standard chiropractic care.  As a result, our office has established a special payment plan for scoliosis patients.

The total cost of the intensive care program includes all X-rays, examinations, rehabilitation care, basic rehabilitation equipment, counseling and coordination of care, plus a summary report and future recommendations.  This amount must be paid in full upon arrival at the clinic.

While some insurance companies have an in network provider contract which provides for a reduction in scoliosis treatment fees, this reduction does not apply to intensive care scoliosis treatment.  Still, some of the costs of your treatment may be covered by your health insurance.  In this case, we will be happy to bill your insurance provider for your treatment and then forward to you any reimbursement we may receive.

This section also includes information on how to check your insurance benefits that will allow you to estimate the amount of insurance re-imbursement you may receive by providing you with the billing codes and the estimated quantities they will be used.


Extended Care Scoliosis Treatment Costs

(Please see the Treatment plan section for treatment related details)

The extended care program falls under the standardized or “non-experimental” treatment protocol and therefore is subject to the regular regulations of health insurance billing and coding.  The patient is responsible for all co-pays, deductibles, and non-covered basic rehabilitation equipment.  Monthly payment options may be agreed upon by each treatment center individually.
